That is the report of a divorce trial, taken from London newspaper. Censored? Well, it doesn’t read like any stories of divorce trials you've read in this country, does it? Parliament, by a recent act, has deprived the British editor of his last privilege of judging such news. Under the act only the names and addresses of the principals and witnesses, the specific charges, the defense, the judge’s charge and the verdict can be printed about a divorce case. British editors, of course, are against it. Espe- ciallyds the Liberal press opposing the act. The Liberal press might be expected to be against it, but when the loyal Beaverbrook press, whose faith with the Tory regime has been traditional, attacks it, too, the measure must be pretty unpopular. The British press contends that such a bare skeleton of the case doesn’t reveal the truth, the circumstances, the how and the why of the action. ‘They hold that no phase of the news should be arbitrarily refused the public, which is the last, great judge of society. It is the same way with crime stories before the criminal is arrested. The police reporter must take the statements of the police without comment. The British editors do not think their press is free. American editors have one more cause to thank the gentlemen who spilled tea in Boston. NY ‘ Arnold Daly, a Dare-taker Tt takes various kinds of people—meek and bold —to make the world go ‘round, and Arnold Daly ‘was one of them. He was a dare-taker. The other day Arnold Daly was overtaken by fate in ‘a fantastic mood. Seated in a chair near a win- dow of his room in a theatrical boarding house, Daly played his last act while the flames leaped up around him. ‘ Twenty years ago the name of Arnold Daly began to ,take on the luster of the classic in the American théatre it now is. He played Shaw, Ibsen, Strind- berg in that day, and it was a day less given to Shaw, Ibsen and Strindberg than our present time. But Daly was a dare-taker. He was none of your goody-goody dare-takers, . There were plenty of dare-takers back in those times who would have nothing to do with Daly. He .was just a bit ister about his dare- taking. / He said he would show John Drew how to act. He took his meat red and said he would show Shaw that he could act Shaw better than Shaw ever kriew his work could be played. He trod the boards, blustered and dared in pri- vate life, became beloved by the public and his friends, and never passed up a chance to take a dare. The memory of the dares®he took will live awe than his acting. They were the mark of a ve heart. c Twilight in Honeymoon Lane DS aspromgt of life grows lonely in the twilight. the larger chores of the day are done, human- moves to the fireside.

The result of the ex- | | periment will be important. | | 1 | The Father of 34 | The president of these United States is a very busy man and many people want to see him. He is so busy in that white house office that delegates of Amalgamated Doughnut Holes, Inc., or presi- | dents of Tireless Autos, Affiliated, may trek across a continent only to be told that Calvin is “not at ; home.” | But Reuben Bland from “down North Ca'liny j way” left his calling card at the white house with \ no‘ trouble at all the other day. Reuben’s title of “America’s champ papa” got him | past the guards at the president’s door. Reuben is 72, the widower of one wife, the hus- ‘band cf another, and the daddy of 34 children, some of whom have died. Affairs of state are not so great that they can- not be suspended for a time while homage is paid to the “father of a mighty race.” If Advertising Should Cease William Allen White, the Kansas editor, recently told the New York Advertising club that if adver- tising shquid cease “the slow decay and) ultimate collapse of the entire world would follow.” | Strong words, but White means what he says. | Advertising is so closely linked with the things that we buy as to become a very integral part of our commerce and culture, as well as @ source of in- formaticn and advice. { Advertising is the greatest help a sound product | could have. At the same time the faulty product | falls by the same medium. be evils—the evils of untruth and exaggeration. But these are, after all, evils of the system and not advertising. The system itself is the source of the advertising, and advertising helps the system to flourish. Competition destroys the undesirable and adver- tising helps in that process, speeding up the elim- ination of what is unfit. “Too Much Bother” Because people forget or will not take the trouble Ne indorse and cash checks, practically any firm which pays dividends will tell you that a certain proportion of the checks they send out never come back. So certain is this that when checks are drawn a certain per cent of the total is credited on the books as uncashed. Bankers say that this human quirk of “not being bothered,” even where money is involved, involves @ good many thousand dollars annually. In politics, of course, it involves unnumbered votes, el Editorial Comment Bootleg Snuff (St. Paul Dispatch.) More than ten years ago North Dakota prohibited the sale or manufacture cf snuff and: followed that with the prohibition of the sale of cigarettes. Two years ago, the law against the sale of cigarettes was repealed with substitution of a stamp tax. The result has been that the state’s revenue has materi- ally increased end illicit sale is practically elimin- ated. But the law prohibiting the sale of .snuff has remained on the statute boeks, with the natural result that the' bootlegging of snuff has become a recognized and lucrative business. To amend this situation a measure is now pro- posed in the state legislature which would permit the sale cf snuff under the same terms as that of cigarettes, namely, ‘after the imposition of a stamp tax. The mail-order business done in snuff is said to exceed that formerly’ done on cigarettes and the use of snuff has increased rather than diminished under the prohibition. The cigarette law will be strengthened by requiring the stamp to be placed on each package, rather than on the carton and this, applied also to the package of snuff, is ex- pected to increase materially the already large revenue enjoyed by the state treasury. The reasonably quick response to the teachings of experience and the modification of a law that increased“ rather than abated the evil it was in- ttended to efface is commendable for its common sense.

She had been born in ob- security, grown up in obscure poverty, married, without ceremony, a man as obscure as herself, reared her family in obscurity, until ore of her brood had developed into a wild little pird- of-paradise, whose’ brilliance and beauty could not be concealed. Probably no funeral” in the history of the city had been attended by so ‘many uninvited guests as gathered in the street and on the.sidewalk before the shabby, shambling little house in! Myrtle Street on Wegnesday morn- ing. Police reserves were sent out, long before the hour of the funeral, to hold the mob in check. Although it was bitterly cold that cheerless first day of December, hundreds of morbidly curious men aud women, boys and gi gathered soon after daybreak, filling the whole block, waiting patiently for hours for a glimpse of Cherry, who was to be brought to the funeral under a heavy police guard, and of the suddenly fa- mous Lane family. Aunt Hattie Lane had spent the night at the Myrtle Street house, sharing the vigil of the family and making herself unceasingly useful by brewing hot coffee, tartly refusing interviews to reporters, and by talk- ing briskly and cheerfully on sub- jects not even remotely connected with death and murder. Faith had never loved her acidulous, withered little old spinster aunt so much in her life as she did before Wednesday morning dawned Joy had been told on Tuesday: of her mother’s death, but her Aunt Hattie had wisely refused, to allow her to come home until Wednesday. Grandpa and Grandma Lane, feeble and subdued, but almost bright-eyed with interest and somehow ‘elated over their own importance as rela- tives of both a newly deceased per- son and an accused murderess, ar-| rived at nine o'clock, each holding| tightly to Joy's hands as they step-| ped out of Bob Hathaway’s cai “I look a sight, in this old dress end hat,” Grandma Lane quavered to Bob, after they had passed the bat- tery of cameras. He smiled at her, undgrstanding her, not blaming her for an instant that she had wafited to “look nice” in the only pictures of her that had ever been made for publication. The sight of Faith, in her plain black satin dress, her bloodless ‘lips entirely free of rouge, her cheeks far whiter than those of the dead woman, deep circles of fatigue and grief un- der her. great brown eyes, touched his heart more profoundly than she thad ever done, when she had looked her handsomest, brightest self. .He had never felt more utterly sure of his abiding love fgr her. “Please, Bob, tell the preacher not to make a funeral oration,” Faith pleaded, almost hysterically. “I couldn't stand that. He didn’t know her at all-—Just tell him to read the service. Oh, Bob, I'm afraid for Cherry! Could anything be more dreadful than her coming home to— to this? We must get it over with quickly, Bob, for’ Dad’s sake—and Cherry's—-” The kitchen door was flung open, and Joy's shrill voice, rising gro- coming! 1 seen her, Faith—through the window!

Here one was certain of hearing the favorite Yiddish ballads sung in native tongue by those who somehow escaped going Broadway. Here the real old, dyed-in-the-wool “sob songs” were rendered by per- formers who used eyes, arms and voice to get appeal. From all over the neighborhood the East Side folk would come to demand “Yossel”—that favorite among the Yiddish folk songs. : So I took a, visitor over, explain: esque and quaint was this place. It was operated, I went ‘on to say, by a fellow who 20 years ago started out in New York life selling hot dogs at street corners and who now was mayor of his street. ~ And then—horror of horrors—the taxi stopped and up rushed a livered doorman, opened the taxi and es- corted us to the doorway.

(Copyright, 1927, NEA Service, Inc.) ee | AT THE MOVIES . o—__——__ __—_ ELTINGE THEATRE Romantic adventure is the keynote of “The Blonde Saint,“ which brings Lewis Btgpe and Doris Kenyon to the Eltinge for today and Tuesday. “The Blond ‘Saint” is distinctly different from the general ‘motion picture feature of the year in that there is none of the flapper and cabaret and jazz clement. from the story, which was adapted from Stephen F. Whitman's novel, “The Isle of Life.” " Besides Lewis Stone and Doris Kenyon, the cast has Anna Rork, Gil- bert Roland, Cesare Gravina, Malcolm Denny, Albert Conti end a number of other well-known players. Ever since the showing of “Behind the Front” in which: Wallace Beery and Raymond Hatton made their big hit at the Eltinge, great interest has been shown in the return of this pair in “We're in the Navy Now,” which comes to the Eltinge for the last three days this week. Irene Rich and Bert Lytell play a one day engage- ment at the Eltinge on’ Wednesday in “Eve's Lover.” CAPITOL THEATRE Tt was agreed by the cast and technical staff of Warner Bros.’ pro- duction of “Oh! starring Syd Chaplin and now at the Capitol Theatre, that it was the jol- liest picture on whicli they had ever worked.
